Astronomers have long been trying to answer this question by detecting radio signals emitted by nearby galaxies. However, these signals become weaker the further away a galaxy is from Earth, making it difficult for current radio telescopes to pick up.</p> Mon, 16 Jan 2023 15:24:19 +0000 webfull 186026 at /channels /channels/channels/news/mcgill-commits-carbon-neutrality-2040-283092 <p>黑料不打烊 University is committing to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040, under its new <a href="/sustainability/sustainability-strategy">Climate & Sustainability Action Plan (2017-2020)</a>, released today.</p> Tue, 28 Nov 2017 15:21:56 +0000 webfull 133094 at /channels /channels/news/rare-galaxy-found-furiously-burning-fuel-stars-226020 <p>Astronomers have found a galaxy turning gas into stars with almost 100 percent efficiency, a rare phase of galaxy evolution that is the most extreme yet observed. The findings come from the IRAM Plateau de Bure interferometer in the French Alps, NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.<br /><br /></p> <p> Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:31:00 +0000 webfull 95910 at /channels
